12-60 Central Avenue, Queens, NY 11691
The three-story, three-unit residential building at 12-60 Central Avenue, owned by Lourdes Adams and located in Far Rockaway, has experienced several significant issues in recent years. Most notably, in July 2024, multiple serious violations were documented, including an active Environmental Control Board violation regarding the unlawful subdivision of a Class A apartment at the second story into two separate units, installation of unauthorized gas ranges, and improper plumbing fixtures in both the cellar and second-story areas.
These violations are classified as "B" and "A" hazards under the NYC Housing Maintenance Code, indicating potentially serious safety or habitability concerns. The building's recent history also shows recurring maintenance issues, particularly in 2022, when multiple complaints were filed regarding unsafe and unsanitary conditions, including broken window guards, various door and window problems, and pest infestations. While inspections of these 2022 complaints found no violations issued for most issues, there were some violations recorded for unsanitary conditions.
Two bedbug-related violations from 2023-2024 were subsequently closed, and the most recent bedbug report (July 2024) indicated no infestations or eradications during the reporting period. The building has also faced multiple illegal conversion allegations, with recent complaints filed in July 2024 regarding unauthorized apartment modifications, though inspectors were reportedly denied access to verify these claims. While some historical maintenance issues have been addressed, including a door repair violation from 2024 that was closed in August 2024, the most pressing concerns appear to be the active Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding unauthorized alterations and the associated ECB violation with a $2,500 penalty.
